Speakers:
Seth W. Pinsky was appointed President of the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg in February 2008. During his first year as President of NYCEDC, Seth has overseen projects that will eventually lead to the creation of tens of thousands of jobs, thousands of units of new housing, and millions of square feet of commercial, cultural, and community space. Seth is leading some of the City’s most ambitious area-wide projects, including Hunter’s Point South, Willets Point, and the revitalization of Coney Island alongside the Department of City Planning. Other projects include a 3.5-million square-foot commercial development in Long Island City; renovation of the High Line on Manhattan’s West Side; and a million-square-foot multi-level shopping center at the Bronx Terminal Market. Seth is also working to retain and grow the City’s financial services sector and other areas like green technology, fashion, new media, bioscience, and industrial and maritime uses along the Brooklyn and Staten Island waterfronts.
During his tenure at NYCEDC, Seth has administered many of the City’s discretionary incentive programs and structured and negotiated the City’s involvement in large development projects. An attorney by training, prior to joining NYCEDC, Seth was an associate at the law firm of Cleary Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton and a financial analyst at James D. Wolfensohn Incorporated. Seth is a graduate of Columbia College and Harvard Law School.
